About This Book
"En quoi la Table Ronde est-elle redevable à La Cité de Dieu de saint Augustin? On a souvent relevé la dimension eschatologique de l'histoire arthurienne et souligné l'audace qui consiste à ancrer une histoire profane dans la matière évangélique. Or l'œuvre d'Augustin peut servir de modèle herméneutique: rassembler Histoire sainte et histoire profane dans un même récit montrant l'œuvre de la Providence dans le monde. Histoire et essai théologique à la fois, La Cité de Dieu permet de penser l'autorité des Écritures et celle de l'historien, la destinée des héros païens, la possibilité d'un tragique chrétien ou encore la lutte des deux cités, inextricablement mêlées ici-bas"--
How is the Round Table indebted to the work The City of God written by St. Augustine? The eschatological dimension of Arthurian history has often been pointed out and the audacity of anchoring a profane history in evangelical matter underlined. The work of St. Augustine can serve as a hermeneutical model: to gather holy history and secular history in the same narrative, showing the work of Providence in the world. The City of God allows us to think of the authority of the Scriptures and that of the historian, the destiny of the pagan heroes, the possibility of a Christian tragedy, or the struggle of two cities, inextricably intertwined here on Earth.
